Passionate Learners: Would you want to be a student in your own classroom? In this workshop based on 7th grade teacher Pernille Ripp’s book Passionate Learners: How to Engage and Empower Your Students, Pernille will help both novice and seasoned educators create a positive, interactive learning environment where students drive their own academic achievement. You’ll discover how to make fundamental changes to your classroom so learning becomes an exciting challenge rather than a frustrating ordeal.

The 2019 Wisconsin Literacy Research Symposium seeks to examine literacy research that moves beyond narrow explorations that perpetuate dominant frameworks and ideologies toward research that embodies critical transformative inquiries that hold students’ cultural and intellectual resources central in literacy learning. We invite researchers, educators, pre-service teachers, and policy makers to become active participants in the exploration of literacy research as it is conceptualized for the complexities of today’s literacy landscape.
